The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 533
"Ninth brother, you really let the four of them guard the border? Why don't you use veterans in the court, such as: Zhong Lao and Zong Shuai!"

Zhao Yougong really didn't understand why Zhao Gou wanted to do this. If it was said that the four of them belonged to Zhao Gou and that Zhao Gou wanted to use power for personal gain and cultivate his own influence, Zhao Yougong would still believe it.However, he also felt that this matter was not as simple as he thought.

Zhao Yougong would still understand if he was a veteran of the battlefield such as Zhong Shidao and Zong Ze.As for Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Yue Fei and others, Zhao Yougong was still somewhat skeptical.After all, the older the better and the more experienced the people fighting on the battlefield, the better.

Sufficient combat experience is more beneficial for the army to win.However, Zhao Gou did the opposite. Not only did he not appoint veteran generals to command the army, but instead he asked these people to provide assistance. Zhao Yougong was really puzzled by these things.

Zhao Gou smiled and said, "Second brother, look how beautiful the sunset is!"

"I asked you something, why are you still in the mood..." Zhao Yougong was furious, but his eyes followed Zhao Gou's fingers and looked over. The sunset is indeed beautiful, but it's just a matter of time , which can indicate that the weather tomorrow will be sunny.

"The setting sun is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk!" Zhao Gou said lightly, "There are many veterans in the army, but they are like this setting sun, and they will disappear one day. If you only use veterans, you don't pay attention to successors. , so tomorrow morning is still so beautiful?"

"Some things seem reasonable, but in the real environment, they are not the case. Because it is reasonable, it is the most dangerous on the battlefield; it can also be said that the more people the enemy does not know, the safer they are, and the more dangerous they are to us. favorable."

"For many years on the battlefield, they should not be allowed to continue to serve the Song Dynasty. They must have left many scars on their bodies. These scars are the achievements of paying their lives and using their own blood and sweat. If there is no successor, Then no matter how powerful Song Dynasty will be in the future, it will not help."

"They are like the afterglow of the setting sun. You don't know when they will disappear. In this case, it is better to look forward to tomorrow morning than to miss the dusk at this time. Because the future of Da Song is in my hands. There are four of them, and I believe they will not let me down, with them guarding the border, Jin soldiers will not appear in the Song Dynasty, and the four of them will live forever."

"This is just the beginning. As long as the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are recovered, the situation can be completely changed at that time, so that all those who covet Song Dynasty will put away their thoughts that they shouldn't have. If anyone doesn't know how to provoke Song Dynasty, Then I will let them bear Da Song's wrath."

"If you want others not to dare to covet you, then you have to be strong yourself. If you are not strong, it is inevitable for others to cut you off."

"Then the next step is to recover the last three states!" Zhao Yougong understood Zhao Gou's thoughts, and he could understand them, so he stopped asking, but turned his attention to the situation in Tanzhou and other places.

"Tanzhou is guarded by the Wuwei Army, Shunzhou has the Guihua Army, and Guizhou has the Qingping Army. These three Liao armies are also the last line of defense for the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun!" There are tens of thousands of people, and their generals have long been frightened, they dare not fight our army head-on, and they hide in the city and refuse to fight. Now that Jizhou is occupied by our army, they must regret it very much!"

Zhao Gou's guess was right, the generals of the three armies were all regretful.If it weren't for worrying about the Song army's deceit, how could they miss the best time.Now they want to attack the Song army, and they have completely lost their advantage.

Originally, the Song army dispatched half of its troops to attack Jizhou. This was their best chance to break out of the siege.Now Jizhou was captured by the Song army, which cut off their retreat.

They are like turtles in a urn, they can't escape with their wings. There are only two ways in front of them, one is to open the city gate and surrender, and the other is to fight the Song army.

Half a month later, the generals of the three armies from Tanzhou, Shunzhou, and Guizhou gathered together. Each of them had melancholy, frowning, frowning faces and remained silent.

"General Wu, it's been half a month, and the Song army is still standing still, besieging and not attacking. This is trying to trap us alive!"

"Our food and grass in Tanzhou are almost exhausted. If there is no more supplies, I am afraid that the Song army will not need to attack. We have already lost. If there is food and grass, it doesn't matter if it drags on, but the soldiers I can't bear it anymore, the whole army is full of complaints, I'm afraid there will be changes in the army if it drags on for a long time."

"General Xiao and you in Tanzhou are the same?" General Guizhou also sighed, "General Wu, we should discuss a countermeasure as soon as possible. After a long time, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable, and it will really be over by then!"

Shunzhou defender Wu Gang sighed, "Two generals, Shunzhou is also in the same situation! In addition, our army still has some deserters! Sigh!..."

The three of them sighed unceasingly. They all admired Song Jun's ability to encircle but not attack, leaving them in a mess.If it wasn't for the enemy army, they really wanted to come up with a good plan, but they were in the midst of it, and it was really hard to say.

There were some deserters in all three armies, their morale was low, and they themselves were frowning, as if everything was dark and there was no hope of victory.

"General Wu, why don't we surrender!"

The general Tanzhou's words were like thunder on the ground, which made the two of them stunned and silent. It's not that they haven't thought about it, it's just that no one wants to pierce the window paper.If they really open the city gate and surrender, they will feel a little worried.

However, since the Song army's powerful offensive has fought in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, there have been few defeats.Moreover, Daliao is already in jeopardy, isolated and helpless, which makes them worried.

It is precisely because of these things that they have trouble sleeping and eating.Now to fight against the Song army, we can only rely on their existing strength.However, before the two armies fought, the Song army had already gained the upper hand, and the Liao army was already defeated.

The confrontation between the two armies is not only a confrontation of strength, but also a duel between generals, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of momentum.All these are of great benefit to the Song army. They know that these generals of their own are lost, and they subconsciously think that the Song army is invincible and has no way to retreat.

Now there are only two ways, either a life-and-death battle, or Kaesong surrender, there is no other way out.Because the way to retreat was also cut off by Zhao Gou, there was no way to retreat.

"Is there really no way out?" Wu Gang was very disappointed, and said dejectedly: "Let me think about it again!"

Everyone nodded, they all needed time to think about it.After all, it concerns everything about themselves. If they surrender, they will betray Daliao and seek refuge with Dal Song.

The three agreed to decide their answers in three days, and then they went back, leaving Wu Gang alone. He sat motionless on the chair, and the old style appeared in his mind, but now he is lingering on his last breath.

After a while, Wu Gang sighed deeply, then got up and left the commander's mansion, striding out.

At this moment, heavy snow fell from the sky. WISCO was wrapped in thick clothes and walked forward step by step. The footprints made by the steps were quickly covered by the heavy snow and disappeared.
